Panel discussions will not involve PPT or additional media; however, workshop presenters may elect to use PPT or other visual aids. Please let us know by Friday, July 31, 2020, if you will be presenting with PowerPoint, using any other media in your session, or if you have additional audio-visual requests.
We ask that you submit your presentation files and handouts to events@wict.org by Friday, September 4, 2020.
Accepted media for all sessions:
- For PowerPoint presentations, please use the screen aspect ratio:
- 16:9 for all sessions.
- Please provide any video media as a .mp4 or .mov file.
A note about PowerPoint presentations:
Slides can be helpful for the audience, but they are by no means required. If you choose to use slides, ask yourself: Would my slides help and clarify information for the audience, or would they distract and confuse them? The most important rule for slides – keep it simple. *For additional tips and suggestions, click here.
If you have a handout or worksheet for your session, we can make an electronic copy available to attendees prior to and during the conference.
Based on attendee feedback, we created the following guidelines to help ensure the success of your presentation and of the overall conference experience.
- No promotion of products or services from the stage.
- Please avoid political agendas and partisan politics.
- It is fine to share your contact information at the beginning and end of your presentation. And if you have a book, we are happy to feature it in our bookstore.
The conference mobile app will be announced approximately 2-3 weeks prior to the conference via email and on the conference website. You can install the free mobile app on your smartphone to access the most up-to-date conference information including schedules, session information, speaker bios, and more.
